I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. Thank you NetGalley!


Unique book. Beautiful photos. Beautiful story. Great addition to our bookshelf!

I recently was talking to two first year undergraduates from Canada and they were commenting on how little native history was taught especially in regards to the Canadian government’s role. When this book went back as an ARC, it seemed like a good way for me to learn more about the residential school system in Canada. I was expecting more of a history book, which this is not but that does not make it any less valuable. This is a story about a story. It is about making the blanket and what it means to remember and honor those who survived and those who are gone. Many of the atrocities are touched on but not described in detail but instead the focus is on the witness and the story of the artist and his family as well.

We already have this book on order and look forward to displaying/selling it. . As soon as I saw the listing for it I knew it was a book that would do well for us. Such a unique idea and a very creative way to share the past
